Can I bypass PlantUMLs URL Authorization so I can pass userInfo to a server that can read it?

I'm trying to access a reusable theme I have stored in a Github repository. Github allows for raw content to be accessed using a URL in the form:
https://<personal_access_token>@raw.githubusercontent.com/<org>/<repo>/<branch>/<path/to/file>

I've confirmed that this works via curl, but when I put this in a plant UML diagram I get the error `Cannot open URL`

Upon reading the URL authentication section of the documentation, I suspect that PlantUML thinks my personal access token is the name of a credentials file? 

As a client of a PlantUML server, is there a way to denote to the server that I want it to forward the URL as is and not try to read the UserInfo itself?
